PC reboots when turned off

[bootneck02]

My wife's PC reboots when she shuts it down, the only to stop it is to turn the power supply off. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this problem as it is something I haven't come across before. She is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.Thanks in advance for any help

While I agree and disagree with the posts in the link, it is worth a shot

I can guess that there is an app that is requiring a reboot for some reason. try dropping some startup programs or killing some apps before you shut down. Google updater is notorius for shutdown issues among other things.

I'd want more info.

Have you disabled automatic reboot?

Has this just started or did you 'update' something ... like an auto update from MS

Laptop or PC?

Shop bought Dell hell or IBIM (I built it myself)

This is a good point. Perhaps the system is BSOD before it shuts down?

Hi gang thanks for the replies. (1) It Is a IBIM (2) No settings have been reset (3) Updates are kept up to date (4) it just happened as if by magic(4) PC is about 3/4 years old and Hard drive was full formatted before Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit was installed about 1 year ago.

check when you got the last update from MS, especially this .NET 4 (dotNET) and try a rollback to the time before

did you turn off auto reboot?

Win7 can repair itself, although it seems to be aimed at non-starting Window, and, if all else fails, one can do a inplace-reinstall so you don't loose anything.

I suspect an MS update, or some other update
